If you have an unusual object that you would like us to see, or if you would like to donate somethng to the collections, our curators are still running a weekly object surgery service from the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
The Weston Discovery Centre at World Museum Liverpool holds opinion services on the first Wednesday of every month from 2pm-4pm. These are drop-in sessions and cover archaeology, ethnology and decorative arts. The assistant curator of Decorative Art and the archaeological finds liaison officer for the North West will be available to give opinions on anything from ceramics, jewellery, silver and other metals, local history, archaeology, antiquities, coins, ethnographic material and antiques. Although valuations cannot be given, you may be able to find out where something is from, its age or what it's made of.
There are still lots of museums and galleries to visit in Liverpool and the surrounding area. In the Albert Dock you can go to the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum, which are both situated in the same building, a short walk from where the Museum of Liverpool Life used to be.
